Help me with atiradeon9700.kext with X800GTO

[Download17]

HELP!!! I've downloaded Tried both of these methods to modify the device ID in the atiradeon9700.kext file with no luck:

 

---Method 1. Koverg's patch http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=10415&st=0

---Method 1. Manual patch http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=10956&st=0

 

So I modified the ATIRADEON9700.kext file as well the info.plist file and followed all of the instructions and finally loaded the kext file itself in Terminal (and it loaded Successfully!!!). But when I shut down and boot up my computer, as it's loading OSX, it pauses at the line

 

display: family specific matching fails

 

it then continues until until this line:

 

Login window application started

 

At this point nothing happens.... ever...I've left it here for quite a while and nothing happens. Again I'm using an X800GTO, so if anyone has one of these and has successfully enabled QE and CI as well as being able to change the resolution please let me know!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

Thanks

I've hit the same wall, running AGP X800GTO. I can change the resolution using "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32" or whatever from boot console or corresponding com.apple.Boot.plist entry

good... I'm now able to change the resolution using the com.apple.boot.plist file. Though if I try to change the refresh rate OSX won't start up... aaarrrrggggghhhhh!!! If anyone knows how to fix this or even how to get QE and CI supported for the x800gto... please let me know!!!

Thanks

those drivers works for Ati X300HM?

[kseelbo]

Hi, try this:

Add your id to the kext then delete all other ATI files except ATINDVR and the 9700 specific files. I also deleted the Intel and Nvidia video files as well. Repair permissions, reboot. Do not worry about the matching display failure. You should now have Quartz Extreme and Core Image. You will also have the mouse artifacts.

This message is for anyone that is still having trouble getting ATI kexts to load. I spent most of last weekend trying to figure out why my X1600 was not working. After many trials, I discovered that so long as the extra .kexts (say 8500, 9500 etc.) were present in the extensions folder, my X1600 kext would not load. So, I deleted those extra extensions and on the next boot I had a loaded kext and Quartz Extreme and Core Image were both supported. This worked in 10.4.4 and 10.4.5. Try it, see if it works for you.

Hey... I tried what you said... I used the koverg patch to put my device ID into the atiradeon9700.kext file (atiradeon9700 as well as info.plist). I'm not exactly sure which one's I'm supposed to delete though... I deleted all of the ati files except for the 9700 files and ATINDRV (there was no ATINDVR, so I assume you meant ATINDRV). I also deleted some Geforce files (assuming that's what you meant by NVIDIA files). I'm not sure which files were the Intel Video files. I'm running 10.4.5 with a Sapphire Radeon x800GTO (PCI-e), and whenever I apply my own device ID to the 9700 kext file, repair permission, load the kext and reboot, I get the apple loading screen (cause I don't have the -v syntax) and it suddenly goes grey and tells me to reboot my computer. If I do have the -v syntax it freezes at "Login Window Application Started". Do you think you could give me a list of all of the files that you deleted and a detailed outline of what you did. If you don't have a list of the files, let me know and I'll get you a list and you can tell me which ones need to go... if that's alright with you... Thanks for your help... I'm really excited to get QE/CI enabled... Thanks!!!

Ok Dock, I'm going to walk you through what I did and hopefully we'll get you up and running!

1) Open your ATI9700.kext (show package contents) then Contents, then drag the plist to the desktop. Open with textedit and scroll down to the location of the device ID's. I put my device ID in first, then deleted the rest so it looked like this:

<string>0x71c21002</string>

Save it, drag it back into the Contents folder and authenticate (your password).

I then deleted ALL other ATI files and Intel 915 files and NVIDIA files except for the ATINDRV.kext, ATIRadeonDVDdriverbundle, and the X1000 specific (9700 in your case) files. Empty the trash then repair permissions through Disk Utility.

Reboot. You should have the kext loaded and CI and QE.

 

If not, try this:

Go back into the extensions folder and open the ATI9700GA.plugin (show package contents)

Open contents folder, and drag the Info.plist to the desktop.

Open it with textedit and change the device ID's in here to your ID, note that these are backwards from the other kext, i.e: 1002xxxx, not xxxx1002 (x's are your ID.) There are two, I did them both so it looked like this:

<key>100271c2-0000-0000-0000-000a27898d3e</key>

<string>ATIRadeonX1000GAFactory</string>

</dict>

<key>CFPlugInTypes</key>

<dict>

<key>ACCF0000-0000-0000-0000-000a2789904e</key>

<array>

<string>100271c2-0000-0000-0000-000a27898d3e</

Save the edited file and drag it back into the folder, authenticate, repair permissions, reboot.

These two files are the only ones that specify a vendor ID, so matching them up may mean everything.

Let me know how you fared.

I'm having the same problem with Sapphire X800GTO AGP - removing the extra ATI*.kext and so forth didn't fix it

[Kent Pribbernow]

Well don't feel bad if this solution doesn't work for you. I actually have the 9700 (Sapphire Radeon 9700 AGP) and it didn't work for me either. When I applied the patch, I got a reboot loop.

 

I'm thinkning of getting an ATI X1600 since that card is already supported by Apple, via the iMac drivers.

Hey Kseelbo... AARRGGHHH!!!... It didnt' work . But ... when I try your fix both ways, and reboot. It goes to the boot screen with the apple symbol, and then all of a sudden the screen goes all crazy with a random blur of pixels in all different colours... yeah... It's kind of weird... but the weirdest part is that I can use my mouse... you can see the cursor (you can also see 2 or 3 other cursors frozen to the screen), and I have complete control over the mouse... It's almost like it booted up ok but just couldn't display it properly. Could this be and extreme case of that "mouse tearing" or is it just messed up? Anyways... I still couldn't find any Intel files in the extensions folder even though that probable doesn't matter... oh well... let me know what you think!!!

What version of OS 10 are you using? I had this same, exact problem when I updated to 10.4.6, really wierd black screen and when I moved the mouse it would change colors. After reinstalling 10.4 so often, I stayed with 10.4.4 because it works. There is an extra file folder in the extensions (10.4.5 and 10.4.6) called AppleNDRV (or something similar) that has two ATI files in it. 10.4.4. does not have this extra file. Not sure what it does, but it could have to do with the black screen/weird colors.

The intel files say 915 on them. I think there are 3. My only advice is to keep trying. Like I said, I spent an entire weekend on it and reinstalled the OS at least 6 times, but once I got it, I can get it working every time. Good luck.

Hey Kseelbo... I'm running 10.4.5... though I have tried a 10.4.4 install and it wouldn't work cause it wasn't pre-patched... (I'm using an AMD Athlon 64, see below)...anyways... I may try temporarily removing that folder you were talking about... Ahh... I now see those intel files you were talking about... I'll give it a try and let you know what comes out of it. Thanks for you help... I hope it works!!!

Alright... I just tried what you said... and nothing worked... well.. when OSX loaded up I got the mangled up screen again (except that it was more white this time... the other one was more greenish... ). Then I messed with some stuff and I can't even remember what I did but I managed to get OSX loaded up fine but it said that no kext was loaded (I think I even had my dev IDs in typed in already and everything)... that was kind of weird cause that is when it normally freezes... Oh well... I'm confused... let me know what you think...

Hi guys, when I upgraded to 10.4.6, my ATI drivers does not work on my AGP 9600 Pro despite my try to add on my card id. However, when I copy my 10.4.4 's ATIRadeon9700.kext back (of course with my added id), reboot, it works like a charm.

 

So what I am thinking is the one (kext) for 10.4.6 is somehow different. As such, no matter how we do with it, it still doesn't work. May be, some of you can just use the 10.4.4 kext instead and see if this works for u.

Hi all,

 

I finally enabled CI and QE on my sapphire x800gto PCIE. I flashed it to sapphire x800 GT PCIE then I applied the Koverg patch v0.2. Now it is working fine. I hope this helps you.

Are u sure? As far as I know GTO and GT made by sapphire use difernt chips, GTO is r480 and GT uses R423, but if it's possible that wil finally solve my problem. It's not bad withouty QE and CI but it's missing smoothness that I need. Where did u get firmware from, give us a link.

You are ok, my card was R480 core and now is R423. You may notice some lost of performance in Windows but in the other hand all games that i tested worked fine for me (in Windows).

 

This is only a dirty method to enable QE and CI. I don't like to flash my card to other model with less power.

 

Bye

[C0ReDump]

Thanks vdr,

 

I've tried the method you recomended to flash the firmware of my x800gto, and guess what? I works. I've downloaded 2 ROMs rom www.techpowerup.com for Sapphire x800GT and x800GTO and uset atiflash to force flash. The command goe like this

atiflash -f -p 0 romname.bin

make sure you make bootable floppy and put both x800gto and x800gt files on your floppy. If you have some other card save your firmware with:

atiflash -s 0 firmwarename.rom

So you can flash it again if new firmware does not work. Make sure you have PCI card ready if things go wrong so you can re-flash the card to original settings.

Initially, I had a problem, the system would hang after flashing and applying Koverg patch, but it was because my settings were screwed up from previous tries. The I took my backup hdd with OS X 10.4.5 on it, flashed, applied Koverg patch and it worked. The I copied ATIRadeon9700.kext on my USB drive and hooked up mu main drive with OS X which was hanging on bootup, went to safe mode, copied ATIRadeon9700.kext on my main drive to the right path, and did the rest as per koverg's patch ( deletin kexts and repairing permissions) rebooted and voila. It works.

The artifacts are there, but ey, it works. Now you have downgraded your card from 12 to 8 rendering pipelines, so it may perform a bit slower in windows games, but you cand revert to x800gto anytime and unlock the capabilities of the card.

[White]

Just bought a PC with Sapphire's X800GTO. Installed OS X 10.4.5, then explored this thread thinking there's just no way to make it work correctly (I'll never try reflashing).

Then I used Koverg's patch according to readme. And...

everything just works fine.

What the hell am I doing wrong?

Hi all

 

Would it be possible for someone to send me just the 10.4.4 or 10.4.5 version of the ATIRadeon9700.kext files or at least let me know where i can get them?

I have installed OSX 10.4.6 but can't manage to get QE/CI working with my Sapphire X800 GTO.

 

Many thanks

Sammy

[maciek r.]

I have a Sapphire X800 GT PCI-E (dev id 554B) card on Gigabyte GA-K9nXP-9(nforce4 ultra) and i eventually managed to enable QE/CI on my rig

So here is the solution that worked for me:

 

1. Install koverg's patch - all the necessary info

2. Install Callisto Omni's page

While installing these patches try to exactly follow the instruction! (including where to put capital or small letters in your dev id)

3. Now it's time to manually change several kext's:

a. sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin/Contents/Info.plist

and change device id in those 2 lines to your card:

- <key>1002554b-0000-0000-0000-000a27898d3e</key>

- <string>1002554b-0000-0000-0000-000a27898d3e</string>

b. sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/ATINDRV.kext/Contents/Info.plist

From the callisto FAQ file:

11.How do I get the QE/CI/OpenGL KEXTs to work with Callisto?

Look in your /System/Library/Extensions folder for ATIRadeonXXXXGA.plugin/ (XXXX depends on your

card model). Edit its Info.plist, under IOProviderClass key change IONDRVFramebuffer to CallistoFB,

update or delete Extensions.mkext and Extensions.kextcache, then reboot

4. I also deleted all unnecessary kext concerning graphic cards and left only those:

ATINDRV.kext

ATIRadeon.kext

ATIRadeon9700.kext

ATIRadeon9700DVDDriver.bundle

ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin

ATIRadeon9700GLDriver.bundle

ATIRadeon9700VADriver.bundle

ATIRadeonDVDDriver.bundle

ATIRadeonGA.plugin

ATIRadeonGLDriver.bundle

5. With Disk Utility repair permissions.

6. Reload kextcache: sudo kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions

7. Reboot and (hopefully) enjoy QE/CI

 

Hope it will help.
